Installing Hobbit in Jetty
by papo＠dcentral.net 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi: I wanted to leverage the use of XUL in conjunction with hobbit, and I managed to get Hobbit installed and running using Jetty as my HTML engine. There were some changes I had to do in the code to get it going, namely changing all the instances from REQUESTED_URI to SCRIPT_NAME in the CGI's and Web Forms, but other than that I got it up and running out of the box. If there is interest for me to write somewhere how I got it going, please let me know. (It might be a long email, before I clog your mailboxes, I rather ask first :) ). Luis Anaya

Dropping multiple tests
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hello - I have a test setup on one of my systems that is not pushing out data quite as I expected. In addition to the column information that I want to keep, it is adding columns on a random basis. I know that we can drop a single column or all the tests for a host, but is there any way to remove tests on a wildcard basis? (I.E bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hostname test_to_drop*") I need to keep the information for several of the tests but I wind up having to manually remove about 50 tests a day so far... :( If there's not, any chance it can be added in a future release? Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

What's in the logfiles ? Especially the bb-network.log, hobbitd.log, hobbitclient.log and the hobbitlaunch.log. Normally, these are mostly empty. Does this happen for only the network tests (conn, ssh, http and so on), or the client-side tests (cpu, disk, memory, procs), or all tests ?

[hobbit] ACKs not being accepted.
by neil.camp＠deca.mil 06 Mar '06

That makes sense. Under BB a code of 99 tells the server to ACK for all recipients. I tried doing a 99 to make sure the tons of people on the list to be notified did not get a repeat message. --neil ManTech DeCA Operations Systems Administrator (804) 734-8353 neil.camp at deca.mil -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 11:54 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] ACKs not being accepted.

The obvious thing to check is of course the ack code. If you run bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard host=MYHOST fields=testname,cookie" it will give you a list of the tests and their corresponding ack code ("cookie" in Hobbit terms). So - are you using the right one? I notice your cookies have "99" at the end. I seem to recall that BB did something special with ack-codes that ended with 99; Hobbit doesn't do that.

[hobbit] HTML Code in Alerts
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Chris, I don't believe that Hobbit will send HTML alerts. If you want to do this you will need to use a custom notification script for each test that provides HTML alerts. I use the following script for mine... ############################################################ # The following is an HTML alert script. Place it in your # # ext directory as -email-notification.sh. # ############################################################ sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail" bbserveraddress="http://<HOST NAME>" echo $BBCOLORLEVEL echo $RECOVERED echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >$BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ lines=`wc -l $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | awk '{print $1}'` rowtail=$(($lines -1)) rowhead=$(($lines -3)) tail -n $rowtail $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | head -n $rowhead > $BBTMP/temp.$$ #echo $lines echo "To: $RCPT" >$BBTMP/notification.$$ case $RECOVERED in 0) case $BBCOLORLEVEL in red) echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME CRITICAL (RED)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; yellow) echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME warning (YELLOW)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; green) echo"Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME okay (GREEN)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; esac echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\" <BODY BGCOLOR=\"$BBCOLORLEVEL\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-$BBCOLORLEVEL.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; 1) echo "Subject: Hobbit $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME recovered Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\" <BODY BGCOLOR=\"green\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-green.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; esac cat $BBTMP/temp.$$ >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ echo "<center> Please see: <a href=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=$BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS\">Service Details</a> </center>" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ $sendmail $RCPT <$BBTMP/notification.$$ rm -rf $BBTMP/*.$$ exit 1 Then put the following in your hobbit-alerts.cfg file HOST=* SERVICE=mrtg RECOVERED COLOR=red SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/html-email-notification.sh <EMAIL ADDRESS> Also, I typically put the HTML alert tests in the EXSERVICE value of my other alerts. That way it doesn't send out the text alerts and only sends out the HTML ones. I am no programmer so there may be better ways to accomplish what I did, but it works great and I am happy with it.
